- Virtue is super scary. You're gonna have to be super-careful with whatever combos your class might have - being able to Thaurissan three times in a match is strong AF.
- I like 4 mana Vice more. The 2 Mana one just seems like a bit too... uh... extreme? IDK.
- I'm not a huge fan of Capture. I think it's fair, but at the same time, Entomb was triggering enough, and this is probably even more rage-enducing.
- Purge: I think Silence isn't allowed on basics.
- Heavy Mace is too good probably. 24 damage in a single card is insane. Maybe an 8/2 or something.

The Harbinger
O Great Dragon of the end, I ask of you but one favour. Close your eyes, and listen closely to the wailing of the souls trapped in this broken realm. If you so wish, I shall give my all to free you from these bonds and stand by your side. Together, we shall heed their prayers - and free them.
Also, if you don't mind, we should really go for dinner some time.The Harbinger is a class with two main themes - slowly bringing about the inevitable apocalypse (read - grind-y fatigue control) and burning everything to the ground NOW, with FIRE (read - super burst combos). With her band of devoted cultists under her command, she also has the capability to go for a more tempo-based, token-style game plan. Red Burst is very powerful, and allows her to efficiently clear enemy minions in the early game, as well as enabling synergies and burst damage in the late game.
Keyword:
When the time comes, all things shall burn to ash. How do we make peace with this reality? The answer is simple: you must learn to love destruction. You must learn to revel in it.
*Note: Does not appear in the basic set.
Revelry is a keyword that embodies the Harbinger's lust for destruction. It's a mechanic that already exists within the game on cards like Flesheating Ghoul , but it's a far more central part of the Harbinger 's class identity, and appears on a large amount of her class cards. If used right, Revelry effects can generate massive value, and allow for some hilarious chain combos.
Notes:
- Revelry will trigger once for each minion killed in an AOE or trade.
- Minions that are killed by an AOE or trade will not trigger their Revelry effects.
- Minions don't trigger their own Revelry effects if they die.
Example Basics:
Card Explanations:
Rally the Chosen: You who are nameless, abandoned, unwanted - come! Gather by my side, and you will never feel lost again.
Rally the Chosen is an end-game card that gives you both some burst damage to finish the game, as well as board presence. 1/1 Cultist tokens will be a little sub-theme of the class.
Oracle's Prophecy: Ah, yes. The images come - a violent inferno, a scarlet sky, and then... peace.
The Harbinger class has many cards that synergise with your hero having high attack, indicative of Faye's unique charisma and ability to rally people to her cause. This card provides some card draw, which is important for all decks.
Blazing Claw: Some flames long for more than a wild, fleeting glory - they long for a shape, a purpose.
A seemingly innocuous weapon that actually has very strong synergies. The Harbinger is a weapon class, but they aren't as central a part of the identity as they are for a class like warrior, and will not show up very frequently. The attack boost granted by weapons counts as 'Hero Attack', which enables some very powerful synergies as they can be used to 'store' attack over multiple turns.
Deal with the Devil: Do you wish for power? I will give it to you - as long as you make me one promise...
A card that could be useful in a token archetype, buffing up your small dudes into kinda-big, kinda-scary minions. Since the card gives about +2/+1 at max (assuming you don't run weird 0 attack minions) and essentially freezes the buffed minions (unless they were summoned this turn), I figured it's fair enough at (1). Like Warlock, the Harbinger has access to demons and synergies with them (which will be included in later sets).
Initiation: Do not fear - despite our reputation, we are like brother and sister here. You will be treated well.
The Harbinger class has access to some limited Armor gain, as well a little healing, as a form of sustain in order to offset all the damage you'll be taking as you punch minions with your hero power. A decent enough play on 2 that can save you some precious health.
Other Basics:

Notes:
- Slash and Burn are the Nuts//Bolts cards. It refers to an agricultural procedure where you cut/burn down trees to create fertile farmland.
- Bloodfire Acolyte has been changed from the one submitted in Phase 1. It is now a 2 mana 2/1.

Okay, I think I'm finished! Any last thoughts before I submit? I'll fix up the cards and center stuff and add in the necessary links when I post it, of course.

Notable Characteristics/Mechanics:

If anyone wants any feedback, just reply to this and I'll try to get to you at some point xD. Don't swamp me with work though, I'm procrastinating enough as is.

- I'd word The Bigger They Come as 'Double the Attack and Health of a minion without card text' to make it less awkward sounding. Just a personal opinion. Will this work on silenced minions?
- I'm not sure what Construct of Life does. Does it... like... allow you to play multiple of the guy Unstable Evolution style? And if I'm not sure, I don't think new players would be sure either xD. I'd suggest changing the effect. Maybe change the name to Life Construct, since it sounds cooler IMO.
- Celestial Mediation seems really strong. Waiting a turn should not give it a 2 mana and 1 card boost from Sprint. I'd drop it to draw 4.
- Smite is a little OP IMO.
- Stoneskin: I'm not a fan of that mechanic being used on basic cards. Same with Construct of Life if that also does that.
- The Harder They Fall: I'm not sure about using the word 'Enchantments', but maybe you can get away with it.
- Chain Blightning should probably have the brackets text italicised.
It might seem really strong at first glance, but if you stop and think about it, all it does is give them at most +2/+1 and it also freezes them, making them unusable for burst damage or trading this turn. Also, it still helps to show that the class will have Demons in it.

Notes:
- Blazing Claw is now a 3 mana 2/3 weapon. As it turns out, being able to 'store' 3 Attack for your Hero Attack combo cards is very, very, very strong, and enables too many burst combos for what I have planned later.
- I'm considering dropping Fireblade Demoness for something else. IDK what though.
- I'm not sure how to cost Oracle's Prophecy.
Thanks in advance :D

(that's surprisingly satisfying to say for some reason). 6 mana 21 damage should not be a thing. Like it just shouldn't, no matter the circumstance xD. Maybe limit it to minions so it can only be used as removal. If you do you can drop the cost to (0) since it'd be an even worse Savagery at 1.0
- Book Bind should probably read 'The enemy hero', because I think that's what you mean. Right now it might be a little confusing.
- I think Tomeground Advantage refers to your opponent's turn, but I'm not sure. It might be a good idea to write 'opponent's next turn' if it does, since I'm sure some new players would assume it was theirs. I think it might mess up your Challenge #2 (or was it 1?), but I don't think unclear wording just to meet that challenge (which is supposed to keep things simple) is a good idea.
- Scroll of Frostfire could probably use a comma in front of 'twice'.
- Fire and Fury seems like a little bit of a stretch, but as long as the mods are OK with it I don't mind xD.

- The text on your cards is too small, or the font is wrong, or something is wrong with it. Like this is a little nitpicky, but the thing is, it looks really unpolished. Like if you take your card and put it next to a hearthcards card, you can see what I'm talking about. It's really cool that you're using your own border, but right now it looks a little... less good.
